History doesnt judge people
Nobody claims that WW2 was because of voters, that the Poland invasion was because of the soldiers
The people leading the propaganda are blamed
And yet, so many people's German grandfathers refused to talk about what they did during the war. Despite the lack of judgment.
Nobody claims that WW2 was because of voters
Maybe if folks had been shamed into not supporting the Nazis and their hollow, superficial, hateful "solutions" we wouldn't even have an example with such obvious and clear parallels to draw upon.
Nobody claims that WW2 was because of voters, that the Poland invasion was because of the soldiers
Nobody should be (or seems to have been) fucking absolved for handing their nation to fascists, either.

People cast their vote for a variety of complicated reasons, often against their own interests. Someone might be stupid because they voted for a bad ticket but I don't think they are necessarily immoral.
These old norms like not judging others for their politics used to function fine before social media propagated and the culture wars flared up. I'd be hesitant to throw the old norms away, even in our current circumstances, because after they go there's no guarantee you'll ever get them back.
The old norms weren't necessarily good.
They worked fine in the 90s/00s. Social media and smart phones has just come in and created hyper-polarization since then. Human beings aren't designed to be able to handle getting news so quickly from such a wide variety of (dubious) sources.
Worked for whom? Not queer people. They couldn't get married until 2015. Sodomy was not federally legalized until 2003. You could be put in prison for having sex with another person of your gender before that. Even if it was in the privacy of your own home and was by mutual consent if someone wished to press charges. And vast numbers of people tried to prevent both of those things from becoming the law of the land.
They were norms and they were not good and I had no respect for the people who felt that sort of oppression should be maintained. And I told them so.
